In the glass
Aroma: walnut, spice, dried apple
Palate: walnut, spice, salt
The estate describes a wine that starts as a classic fruity white and turns, over six and a half years on blue and black marl Savagnin, into something else entirely. No topping up, a veil of yeast on the surface, and an intensity the domaine warns can wrong foot a first time drinker.
